ISLAMABAD, Aug 21 (Alliance News): Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, Professor Ahsan Iqbal, emphasized the urgent need for Pakistan to keep pace with the global digital revolution to achieve sustainable development across all sectors.
Speaking at the “Empowering a Digital Pakistan” conference, Ahsan Iqbal highlighted that the world is advancing rapidly, and Pakistan must adapt to avoid falling behind. He noted that nations that embrace global changes prosper, while those that resist fail.
“The digital era is here, and in this new world, it’s not about size but speed. The fast will outpace the slow,” he stated.
He also reflected on Pakistan’s past reputation for hard work and intelligence, which has been tarnished in recent years due to political instability. Ahsan Iqbal pointed out that in 2018, Pakistan had significant international investment interest through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), but this opportunity was squandered.
To ensure future success, he stressed the importance of peace, stability, consistent policies, and continuous reforms. He concluded by urging the nation to unite under a common identity and work together for progress.
